My personal scripts.

bm

A dmenu-based bookmarking utility.

It looks for files in ~/.bm/ and treats them as a list of bookmark categories. Each of those files is assumed to be a list of bookmarks with the following structure:

A human readable bookmark description
	https://some-url-preceeded-by-a-single-tab

First the script lets you select one or more categories, then you can select one or more bookmarks from the selected categories and then they are opened in your browser.

brt

My-machine-specific script for controlling the display backlight.

clip

Just a convenience wrapper around xclip that uses clipboard selection by default.

ffrec

A script for screen recording that uses dmenu and ffmpeg.

When called this script prompts if you want to start recording and then starts an ffmpeg process. If you call it once more it asks you if you want to stop recording and then terminates the recording.

mmv

This script allows you to mass-move files.

It takes a list of files to move as arguments and opens a temporary file containing those names one per line with your $EDITOR (names are assumed to have no newlines). You can then edit it. When the editor is closed, the files are moved.

news

A script for viewing rss feed updates.

The script checks feed files (in TSV format) and shows a menu with entries that are newer than the last check date (which is the timestamp of the file ~/.sfeed/last which is updated every time news is called). You can select entries that you are interested in and they will be opened in the browser. It is also possible to specify the starting date in the arguments (e.g news day ago will show you items that are less than one day old). news itself doesn't actually fetch or parse rss feeds - this job is done by sfeed.

pw

pw takes a command along with its arguments and runs it only when all of stdin is read.

It is useful in situations where you want to run multiple interactive commands in one pipeline. For example, find -type d | fzf | xargs -d'\n' ls | pw fzf: if you didn't use pw both instances of fzf would try to output to the terminal at the same time. Another use case would be building pipelines that both read and modify some file. For example, grep foo somefile | pw tee somefile: without pw the contents of somefile would just be deleted.

sb

This is a statusline generator script, it is written in bash and is a relatively more compilcated one.

When started (via sb run) the script reads its configuration from ~/.sbrc, which describes what modules are there and how often their values need to be refreshed, and starts outputting the statusline to stdout.

Example configuration file:

# module that shows date and time
# this function is called every time when module value needs to be updated
datetime() {
	# set a variable with the same name to the desired value
	datetime=$(printf 'date: %(%a %-e %b %H:%M:%S)T')
}

# refresh 3 times a second
frequency=3

# specify the order and refresh frequencies of the modules
modules=(
	# renew the datetime module value on every second refresh
	datetime:2
)

sb also supports on-demand updating of module values via sb upd MODULE. For example, in my configuration, there is rss module that shows me the number of new items (since I last checked them via news) in my rss feeds. Usually, it is updated every two minutes. But when I actually run news it explicitly requests an update (via sb upd rss), and I can see in my statusbar right away that there are no new items.

shot

A wrapper around maim. It provides flags for specifying what part of the screen needs to be saved (full or manually selected region), and what to do with the image (save to a file, open in the image viewer or copy to the clipboard). It also takes care to enable (and disable afterwards) the touchpad (if it is switched off) if manual selection is used.

tp

My-machine-specific script for controlling the touchpad.
